Crafted from 20-year-old Chenin vines, this wine thrives on a soil of schistose sandstone and is produced with a controlled yield of 28 Hl/Ha. Harvesting is done manually, and pressing is gentle to preserve fruit integrity. Thanks to fermentation in new oak barrels followed by 12 months of aging, this wine is distinguished by its dense texture and elegant aromas, with no added sulfites for a pure expression of its terroir.

Domaine Les Grandes Vignes
In Anjou, the Vaillant family has been managing Domaine Les Grandes Vignes biodynamically for many years. The vineyard is primarily planted with Chenin and Cabernet Franc, emblematic grape varieties of the region, cultivated with constant attention to soil balance and vine vitality.
The parcels located around Thouarcé exhibit diverse profiles, which the estate interprets through precise vinification techniques, sometimes conducted without added sulfur. The white wines develop a natural texture and measured tension, where the fruit maintains a restrained and clear expression. The red wines favor supple structures and a smooth mouthfeel, resulting from controlled extractions.
The aging processes are conducted with restraint, with the aim of preserving the direct expression of the terroir and the clarity of the profiles. The estate's entire approach is characterized by great consistency, offering wines true to their origin and consistent in their expression over time
